Underclass Trials: Statistical Leaders



By Sean Duncan
Executive Director

More than 80 Class of 2016 and 2017 prospects from all over the state convened at Schaumburg Boomers Stadium on Thursday, June 12 for the Illinois Underclass Trials. Many new prospects emerged as high-follow prospects who should establish themselves as premier prospects in the 2016 and 2017 classes.

While there were many stellar performances, 6-foot-4, 200-pound 2016 LHP Cole Miller (York HS) and 6-foot-4, 206-pound 2017 RHP Glenn Albanese (Batavia HS) stood above the rest.

In the coming weeks, we will post in-depth scouting reports and event breakdown of the Underclass Trials. In the meantime, he is a quick look at the statistical leaders, along with complete statistics, from the event:
